Let Me Love You

Inspired by the song Let Me Love You by Josh Wilson


Why don't you let me love you?
You pretend that it's all okay
But I hear sorrow in your voice
With every word that you say

Why don't you let me love you?
You smile, but the smile's so fake
You laugh a hollow laugh
Because underneath your heart aches

Why don't you let me love you?
You're so afraid to tell the truth
To say what you really mean
Afraid that they won't like you

Why don't you let me love you?
You're afraid to show who you are
So afriad that they will run
When they see all your scars

Why don't you let me love you?
You don't have to prove a thing
You don't have to put on a show
Just be who you want to be

Why don't you let me love you?
You don't have to reach that far
You don't have to run and hide
I'll meet you where you are

I can totally relate to this. It's almost exactly what my best friend needs to hear right now... what I need to say to her, really. Very good job!

Wow, this is absolutely stunning, Puck. I always love reading your poems, and I think this is one of your best.

Aww. :3 Purely magnificent, Puck! I love how all your poems have the repeating of lines. It just adds the perfect impact.

Thanks guys!! =D
